Description

In the inaugural episode of The Farmlink Podcast, we sit down with Aidan Reilly and Ben Collier, two of the Co-Founders of the award-winning non-profit The Farmlink Project. In April of 2020, a ragtag group of college friends began cold-calling hundreds of farmers across the USA in an attempt to rescue their surplus produce and transport it to food banks buckling under the demand of the COVID-19 pandemic. Fast forward two years, and The Farmlink Project has transformed into a national operation that's rescued and donated more than 60 million pounds of food across the United States. Aidan and Ben take us through the impetus for starting this wild project, the hectic early days of the organization, and the kinds of challenges and perspectives they've encountered in running one of the world's fastest-growing non-profit startups.
